Tatuaje vs Crowned Heads

[rxmxsh]

Tough. I've enjoyed both the TAA14 (11 and 12 as well, I did NOT like the 13) and the LC in various vitolas. I regret not grabbing a box of the 550 and refuse to pay the markup on the secondary. I would probably choose the TAA15 over the LC because I'm growing weary of the LE business model of CH. It seems every release is an LE. Perhaps it's just me, but I'd like to see a quality production stick from CH before they started pushing LE after LE.

I agree with you on that point. LE only available in TN, LE only available at a certain shop, LE only available in Hawaii. Drew Estate does the same thing though, making $5 Undercrowns some sort of LE and charging $12 for them.

DE is another brand with which I am over.... except for FFPs....

To be fair I was able to snag every CH release other than the Double W online and a lot of people do vendor exclusives. Tatuaje has a handful of them this year and recently did a vendor exclusive with the Black label churchill. As for regular production I'd say Jericho Hill, Headley Grange, Four Kicks, and JDH Reserve is a pretty strong lineup.
I know LEs get annoying for people and CH in particular released a number this year. But the way I see it is those cigars could be released or never see the light of day. I know Id rather get a chance to enjoy them while the leaf was available to make them than to never have that opportunity.
